GRI

GRI, previously known as de Poel health+care, is the UK’s leading outsourced solution to managing the agency rate cap and ensuring that quality, compliant temporary workers are booked onto each and every shift.

With no initial investment or out-of-pocket-costs, our workforce management solutions are funded via a small percentage of the savings we achieve for organisations, ensuring our model offers a risk-free opportunity to change the way the temporary staff is recruited.

Since 2001, we have provided outsourced solutions to the procurement and management of temporary workers. We have a significant track record with health+care organisations both private and NHS.

Whether we’re empowering our clients to build their own communities of temporary workers or revolutionising our clients’ relationships with recruitment agencies to drive a fairer commercial deal, all our solutions offer a blend of account management and technology to standardise and control agency margins, maximise efficiency, create true visibility and rigor, minimise administrative pressures and optimise working practices.

Importantly our focus is also on raising standards, ensuring compliance and improving candidate quality through our robust audits and business intelligence reporting.

Working with GRI means working with true independent workforce management experts. As a neutral vendor, we have no affiliation with supplying recruitment agencies. We’re not owned by a Group which also owns a recruitment agency. Nor do we have any recruitment agencies in our portfolio. This means no conflicts of interest ensuring we can truly recommend the best course of action for an organisation’s approach to temporary recruitment.

Instead, we opt for an influential voice across the agency world with over 3,500 agency suppliers on our panel (20% of the UK’s recruitment sector). We ensure our clients benefit from this influence passing on fairer commercial terms and best in class service.

This expertise has seen us become a market leader, entrusted with £750 million pounds of recruitment spend on behalf of over 130 clients – equating to 60,000 temporary workers a week and over 2 billion hours of temporary work managed to date. As an award-winning organisation recognised as a game changer we are considered “one to watch”, and were recently acquired by the global temporary workforce management experts, GRI, changing our name in June 2018 from de Poel Health+Care.
